Myinvention-pertains to a liquid ejectoi` ,adaptedfornse in connection with abottle .Aorrec'ept-acle, and it has special .reference tout .removable c ap or top designed. to be attached to and inclose the. bottle or receptacle, and which will etl'ectnally seal the contents, when not in use, and so arranged lwill. now beset forth. in detail.`

Fig. 3 is a perspective-view of Y -the lower shellt which' is attached `to the bottle: Fig.- 4, isa vertical,- enlargedsec- -`tion .of the. lower end "of the interior telescoping` tubes which control the flow of the .liquidfand Figli is a modified structure of A the .telescoj'iing. tubes. 1

. .In constructing-my invention l prepare a 0 cylindrical shell 5, of such size diametrically-that it may be permanently held within'a tubular cork. .6, this tubular cork being designed to fit the neck of the bottle 7, orv other receptacle containing the liquid. The; upper end of this shell has a flanged head 8, designed to` rest on the top of the bottle;

and against which the cork abuts.

The lower end of the shell 5 has a base 9,

and within is a tubular shell 10, diametri- 40 call-y smaller than the interior of the outer shell, which extends up beyond the upper end of the outer shell, and sutiicient space is. provided between the inner .and outer shells, as shown at 11, to permit an upper Shell 12 to slide down within the opening thus made. An inner tubular shell'13 is also provided which has the same external diameter as the inner diameter of the'lower interior shell 10, 'and these two shells 12 and 13 'are secured together at their upper ends by a rim 14, a portion of the rini being eut away, as shown at 15, so that any liquid which may find its way between the two shells 10 and 13, will escape through these the brush.

.Qalifornia,jhave invented certain new Centrally within the lower shell 10, and

attached to the basel 9,

is a short'tube 17, having two oppositely disposed vertical slots 18. Within this tube is-asxnaller tube 19, which-slides within the outer .tube 17 and extends upl through` the base 20, which incloses the lower end of the upperl shell 13, and terminates withinthe brush 16 at a .point near the upper ends of the. shells 12, 18. This tube is rigidly attached to lthe base 20, sol that it' moves with the upper shells and the lower end The inner tube 19, has its lower end'norinally a slight distance above the lower end of the slotted .openings 18, asshown in Figs.

1 and 4, and a hole22 is formed .through the v of theinner tube 19, is closed, as shown at 21;

wall of the tube 19 abovethe upper end of the opening 18 so that the hole 22 is sealed and liquid is prevented from enteringthe tube 19; when, however, the tube 19 is moved downwardly its lower'end closes, the opening 18, and the 'hole Q2 is uncovered by .the upper .end of the opening 1S. Astud .2 3 projectii'ig from the tube 19A into the opening 18, prevents the tubesfi'roin being withdrawn from each other.

sciv

A coiled spring Q4 is interposed between 'f the bases 9, 20, so as to keep the brush shells normally at their highest iiniit .Within the @stationary shells, y 4

. I vmay modify the construction of the telescoping tubes and I show one` inanner offdoling this in F ig. 5, in which-there'lisbut a single shell 26, within 'the tubular cork27. This shell extends up a short distance above the cork. An inner shell Q'Sfoperates within this outer shell, and this shell has its lower ends closed, as at 29, and at its upper end is a surrounding shell 30 projecting down far enough, and oi suitable diameter to overlap the shell Q6. The'two shells 28, 30, are secured together at their upper ends in the saine manner, as the vshells 1;?, 13, so as to provide apertures 31 for the discharge of such liquid as should nd its way between the two shells. The brush is, of course, in

this instance, also secured to the inner shell,

and when in their normal position, asshown in Fig. 1, lliquid from the bottle will enter through the lower end of the tube 17, and openings 1S into the reservoir 26 within the inner shell 10. 1Iffhen' therefore, the brush shells are moved inwardly, the liquid thus contained in-the reservoir, will be forced through the opening 18, and hole 22, into the inner tube 19, and thus into the brush 16. lVhen pressure is released and the brush tube returns to its normal position the flow is cut uit' and the bottle inay be used as a handle to apply and spread the liquid through the medium of the brush. Any liquid which may find its `way between the shells 12, 13

will also come out through the opening 15 adjacentthe brush and thus prevent loss. What I claim as new, is z*- 1. In a device of the character described, a closure cap, open at its upper end and i closed atits lower end, af short central verticaltube projecting up from the lower end of the cap, provided with vert-ical slots vor openings in the sides thereof, and a shell having a brush thereon adapted to vertically move within the 'cap shell, having centrally a tube which telescopes' within thestationary tube in t-he cap, andmeans whereby liquid may be ejected through said tube when thebrush shell telescopes within the cap shell.

2; In a device of the character described, a. closure cap havin a closed lower end and provided with an in et tube, and a shell, hav- 'ing a brush attached thereto, slidably operating within said closure cap, a central ver-v tical tube within the said brush shell and slidably movable within the lower inlet tube, said shells being provided with an intermediate reservoir, and means connected with said tubes whereby liquid from the bottle will enter the reservoir when the brush shell is in its normal position, and inverted, and whereby the inlet,from the bottle will be lclosed and the outlet from the reservoir to the brush :supplying tube will be opened when the brush shell is moved inwardly.

3. In a device of the character described,y a closure cap, comprising a shell adapted to bc secured within a tubular cork, having'a flanged head and a closed base, and a. short central inlet tube projecting upwardly from the base, provided with a pair of elongated openings in the sides thereof, in combination with a brush shell, having a brush thereon and vertically7 movable within the cap shell, a base below the brush, a vertical tube through said base, open at its upper end and closed at its lower end, secured to the-base of the cap shell, and projecting down into the central stationary tube, provided with an .outlet hole through the side of said tube and normally above the opening of the stabases.

closure cap, comprising a shell adapted to be tionary tube, and a spring lbetween the two secured within a tubular cork, having a flanged head and a 4closed base, an interior shell extending up beyond the exterior shell,

and also secured to the base, and a short stationary central inlet tube projecting upwardly-'iroi'n the base, provided with a pair of elongated openings in the sides thereof, in combination with a brush Shel-l having a brush therein, and vertically movable within the cap shells, a base below the brush, a vertical, tube through said base open at its upper end and closed at its lower end, ysecured to the base of the brush shell, and projecting down into the stationary tube, provided with an outlet hole through the side of said tube and normally above the opening of the staiticnary tube, an exterior shell surrounding the brush shell adapted to pass down between the two shells forming the cap, and provided with openings at their upper end between the two shells contiguous to the brush.

Signed in the city and county of Los Angeles, State of California, this 16th day of March, 1911, in the presence of witnesses.
